fclones-gui

Finds duplicate files and offers many ways to get rid of them. Likely the fastest duplicate file finder you can get for Linux.

Features:

Identifying groups of identical files

• finding duplicate files
• finding files with more than N replicas
• scanning multiple directory roots
• filtering names and paths by extended UNIX globs
• filtering by min/max file size
• proper handling of symlinks and hardlinks
• optional ignoring of files specified in .gitignore

Removing redundant data

• removing, moving or replacing selected files with soft or hard links
• removing redundant file data using native copy-on-write (reflink) support on some file systems
• bulk selection of files to remove
• prioritizing files to remove by creation, modification, last access time or nesting level

High performance

• parallel processing capability in all I/O and CPU heavy stages
• automatic tuning of parallelism and access strategy based on device type (SSD vs HDD)
• low memory footprint thanks to heavily optimized path representation
• accurate progress reporting
• uses modern GTK4 list controls that can display hundreds thousands items
